Submitting




Submitting 101 ????
I am referring to the Magazine
submitting,  

Not the Biblical one,
this could be a whole other post.....

While Cleaning, Clearing, De-junking  & Organizing
I have come across lots of My Favorite
Magazines

Cloth Paper Scissors is such a Fun 
Creative Magazine
&
Oh Course,  
All the 
Fabulous
Somerset Studio Winners.....

I have been wanting to Submit work to 
both of these Great Publications,

I must admit
It is All a Bit Confusing
So,  If  it's Confusing to Me,  could there be 
Others
Who like Me ~ Would Love to 
Submit
but
they have some Big
???????'s
on the
whole Process

I am sure Hoping that I will get Lots of You 
Wonderful, Fabulous, Talented
Artist ~ Bloggers 
Published Peeps
who 
will Chime in with
Your 
Most Important Hints
regarding 

SUBMITTING

Here are a few things that I have always
wondered about:

1.
Is it Best to Send Photos
or
Actual Art Work?
 2.
What's Up with the Decorating of the
Mailing Box or Envelope?
[you know you always see those
fancy submissions with Art work on the Packaging - is that
really Necessary]
3.
Do you Submit on a Schedule?
[send in items Only when you think they are needed - or do you send in things for future publishing]
4.
How often do you tend to Submit?
5.
Do you get Your items Back?
[I think I have read about sending a MO to cover costs]


I Have a Dream & I'm Not ashamed to Share It.....

I Want to Be Published
 in 
2011

How About YOU

so I hope this will Generate some
Buzz around the Blog....

Make sure You include
Your Blog site when Posting,  I want everyone to 
be able to Visit Your blogs too....

Love the Generous World of the Creative Blogger

Thanks
 to
 ALL

 This Beautiful 
Dish ~ Bowl
was another Lucky
Gift given to Me 
by 
My Neighbor



I still don't understand how she can be parting
with all of these wonderful Treasures
This was Her GrandMother's
{My Neighbor is in Her early 60's}
Is is Depression Glass?


At first I thought it was Golden Colored,  but it has a Hint of Pink
See the difference in the 2nd photo,  where I have a piece
of Pink with it....

This Gem is over 12" across

I Love the Etched or Cut Pattern
